About
'Earth and Elsewhere' brings together works from the Gallery's contemporary collections that highlight the way artists frame the past and help us understand the delicate connections between memory, history and empathy. The exhibition tracks a path across the earth's surface, starting on the ground and taking to the stars to map the human condition through various poetic associations.
The exhibition features work by Sadie Benning (USA), Dadang Christanto (Indonesia/Australia), Latifa Echakhch (Morocco/France), Simryn Gill (Malaysia/Australia), Guan Wei (China/Australia), Emily Jacir (Palestine/United States), Anish Kapoor (England), Dinh Q Le (Vietnam), Lee Mingwei (Taiwan/USA), Jose Legaspi (The Philippines), Jorge Mendez Blake (Mexico), Rivane Neuenschwander (Brazil), Henrique Oliveira (Brazil), Mitra Tabrizian (Iran/England), Judy Watson (Waanyi people, Australia) and others.
